I (Philippe BASCIANO-LE GALL) would like to start (co-leading with Guilia Fraboulet) a Breton localization team for Firefox and Thunderbird.
I am already lead of the OpenOffice.org Breton localization effort ( cf. http://bre.openoffice.org ) and has been involved in several other l10n projects, all listed on http://www.drouizig.org
Alan Monfort is our main translator. He is a linguist, author of a Breton dictionary and involved in Breton localization since a long time now ( > 5 years ).
Other people including native speakers will join the project, I'll keep you posted.
The latest FF3.0 translation can be downloaded here:
http://www.drouizig.org/cozumel1974/firefox/br-FR-sources.zip
The translation of Thunderbird 2.0 is on the way (75% already done) and will be completed to 100% within a short time.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Hi An Drouzig:
Hope you are doing well. I am not sure where you are in your localization effort at this time. Have you started translating Firefox 3? If you have begun work on FF3, thank you for all of your work at localizing. We're at the unique point of determining if you should localize for Firefox 3 or move onto localizing for Firefox 3.1, depending on your availability and interest.
If you are interested in working on *something* that is stable, you can continue to focus on localizing Firefox 3. We can get stable builds going for you. However, we will eventually ship your work in Firefox 3.1 and you will need to update the effort you are putting into Firefox 3 right now. The good news is that the string changes from Fx 3 --> Fx 3.1 are presently small in number (~30), so the update should not be too much too handle.
However, if you are interested in moving your effort toward localizing Firefox 3.1, then you can read the following documentation on working with Mercurial and getting a local environment set up on your machine.

Thanks so much for your hard work. As always, ping us with any questions, we are ready to help.
Kind regards,

Hi Phillipe, firstly, mind pulling the security vulnerable versions on http://www.drouizig.org/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=7? We're trying to keep our users safe first, and most of the versions you offer are rather the opposite. The best way to keep your users safe is to actually offer a language pack only, as that will keep the automatic security updates going.
As for the next steps, we'd like to get a tar.gz of your work for review. Make sure to not include the .hg internal repo files, the package will get too large to attach then. 'cause that's what you do, attach that file to this bug, and request review by setting the 'r' flag on that attachment to '?', and enter my bugmail as requestee.

Hi Alex,
I have removed the old versions of Firefox and Thunderbird from our download area.
The only two which are now downloadable are the 3.0.5 and 2.0.0.18 respectively.
Binaries are based upon official english versions.
Once installed these versions can update themself (it did well from version 3.0.0 to 3.0.5), but I always chose to repack .exes for our new users. I suggest to remove all the .exe once we have our first beta build available ?
thanks
Philippe

An,
I'm sorry that I only noticed this bug now :-(
We are no longer accepting any contributions for Thunderbird 2 as we are actively working towards Thunderbird 3. We have already released two beta releases of Thunderbird 3, so I think that your localization work would be better spent by shooting for the Thunderbird 3 release instead of the old Thunderbird 2.0.0.x releases.
The beta2 release of Thunderbird 3 can be found here:

Some additional information for Thunderbird localizers is here:

Breton translation files for Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5
Sorry for the lag, I work through my review queue in chunks.
This seems to be a tar of the unpacked language pack, which is not what our sources look like.
As I know that you guys have good ties to the French community, I'm positive that you'll find someone capable of helping there. Pascal might have someone in the back of his head?

Cancelling this review request based on Simon's comment, and the fact that the corresponding Firefox attachment got an r-.

Breton translation for Firefox 3.6b1pre
I have updated the breton translation for Firefox 3.6b1pre.
Could you also add my name to the memberlist of the breton language team?
It will easier for me to update the translation if I have a Mercurial account!
Thanks!

Sorry for the lag, and the quite extensive comments coming up. They should be quick to fix though.
This looks pretty good already, but I have new compare-locales code in the works which actually spotted two errors:
dom/chrome
appstrings.properties
ERROR: argument 1 `S` obsolete at line 9, column 22 within confirmRepostPrompt
layout/xmlparser.properties
ERROR: argument 3 `d` should be `u`, argument 4 `d` should be `u` at line 72, column 18 within XMLParsingError
The first is actually dom's appstrings.properties being for different strings than the Firefox-special strings in browser. Please localize that file according to their en-US strings?
The second one is just replacing %?$d with %?$u.
Further comments:
Please revert browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties to the en-US version, we'll customize that as fits in a separate bug. Same goes for browser/searchplugins/list.txt.
In br-FR/browser/chrome/browser/migration/migration.dtd, some accesskeys are the full product names, while they should be accesskeys. Please compare with an up-to-date en-US source.

Breton translation files for Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.18
I expect that 2.0.0.x thunderbird translations will need updates before getting a review, thus making this obsolete.
I'll get to the review of the fx attachment soon.
